This privacy policy covers what information we collect from you when you visit our web site, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it. By using our web site, you agree with the terms and conditions of this privacy policy.
1. The information we collect
When you use our site, we receive and collect certain information. The information
that we receive and collect depends on what you do when you visit our web site.
Automatically Collected Information.
Some information is automatically received and sometimes collected from you when you visit our web site. We receive and
collect the name of the domain and host from which you access the Internet;
the Internet protocol (IP) address of the computer you are using; the browser
software you use and your operating system; the date and time you access our
site; and the Internet address of the web site from which you linked directly
to our site. We use this information to monitor the usage of our site. Also,
when we send emails to you, we may be able to identify information about your
email address, such as whether you can read graphic-rich HTML emails. All of
the information we automatically capture provides us with the ability to enhance
the usability of our site and to determine aggregate information about our user
base and usage patterns.
Information Collected via Cookies.
We use cookies to enhance the browsing and
shopping experience on our web site. "Cookies" are small files or
records that we place on your computer's hard drive to collect information about
your activities on our web site. The cookies transmit this information back
to the computers at our web site or our third-party distributors of banners
and newsletters; these computers are, generally speaking, the only computers
which are authorized to read such information. The information captured makes
it possible for us (i) to speed navigation, keep track of items in your shopping
cart, and provide you with custom tailored content; (ii) to remember information
you gave to us so you don't have to reenter it each time you visit our web site;
(iii) to monitor the effectiveness of some of our marketing email campaigns;
and (iv) to monitor total number of visitors, pages viewed, and the total number
of banners served.
Most people do not know that cookies are being placed on their computers when
they visit our web site or most web sites because browsers are typically set
to accept cookies. You can choose to have your browser warn you every time a
cookie is being sent to you or you can turn off cookie placement. If you refuse
cookies, you will not be able to use our site properly. Also, by not using cookies,
your overall Internet browsing experience will be affected.
Information Collected Using Pixel Tags or Clear GIFs.
To help us understand
the effectiveness of our email marketing efforts, we may use "message format"
and "message open" sensing technologies. Both technologies require
the use of pixel tags or clear GIFs (also called web beacons). The "message
format" sensing technology allows us to recognize whether you have enabled
your email program to receive HTML emails; if so, this information is then associated
with your email address so that subsequent messages can be sent to you in HTML
format. The "message open" sensing technology allows us to recognize
whether you have opened our email message. We can only detect this if your have
enabled your email program to receive HTML emails.
Information You Actively Submit to Our Web Site.
Our site is designed to be
accessed by registered users. Except for few pages, which are designed to describe
how our site works, most of the pages require that you be logged in our site
using a registered account. To open an account, you will need to choose a username
and a password. In doing so, we require that you provide us with all of the
following Personal Information: your name, email address, phone numbers, and

from you (such as credit card, bank account, etc). If you create a Profile for
someone (including yourself), you require that you provide additional personal
details which is needed by our Matchmakers to find matches for that Profile. Actual
personal details requested will depend on the Matchmaker who is chosen by you.

such information in any way not expressly authorized by us.

of goods and services that you may purchase from time to time on our site. Like

Membership programs.

their own membership programs or rewards programs, require that we disclose
purchasing information about their customers who visit our web site through
links from the partner sites. We disclose only the information required to make
these programs work and support your membership with them, which typically includes
the name and/or email address of the user as well as the dollar amount of purchases
made. We disclose this information to companies under an agreement that requires
that they obtain your consent first, usually under the membership or participation
rules. If you do not want us to disclose that information to the strategic partner,
then you must contact them directly.

Credit card transactions are handled by third-party
financial institutions and their vendors, which receive the credit card number
